@@lemsip207 Still got elected and (until Iraq) implemented more positive legislation than had been seen in 30 years (and has been seen since) Edit for clarity: I like Foot and agree with his policies. I campaigned hardest for Corbyn. But some people are absolutely out of their minds if they can't see that much of what Blair did was very very positive and he did it by making himself distinctly electable.
@@Theo-bb6pn I know. But in real life he was too fake, plastic & hyperactive. Gordon Brown was more normal in real life. But people these days go by the TV image & what the right wing newspapers write about them. My parents saw through Blair before I did even though they had never seen him in real life. The right (other than the centre right), the left & the Liberal Democrats saw through him even before he became PM. Spitting Image sent him up because his puppet was always trying to throw out Robin Cook.
Blair was clever in winning three elections because both Iraq and his mass immigration policy happened towards the end of his rein as prime minister. If they had happened say before his second election, he wouldn't have even got re-elected or re-elected on a very small majority, at best. He wouldn't have seen a third time, that's for sure!! Blair's first period was actually pretty "nicey, nicey". However, the "loon" part of his liberal instincts soon emerged afterwards for all of us to see!!
Tony Blair took Labour from second to third place in the Beaconsfield by-election but still managed to bag Sedgefield, a safe Labour seat at the time, immediately afterwards because of his fake charm. His wife couldn't find an easier seat to fight, despite being more intelligent, as she didn't have as much charm. There was sexism as well in the Labour Party then.
"Nobody who joined the party when I was leader can be accused of being a careerist". Haha! That made me laugh!
*You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain*
Or you live long enough to be boring & irrelevant.
Top man you are micheal
Foot was a genuine believer...Blair looks like an embarrassed estate agent
I’d take getting elected 3 times.
this couldn't be more true lol
@@dmmartinez9 Because he courted the Sun and the Murdoch empire.

If Michael Foot were here today he would have hated Tony Blair and be a strong Brexiteer.
What a cheesy grin
Which had an uncanny ring.
Micheal on FOOT with Tony Flare !!
Blair is from the Scottish Gaelic word 'blàr', he certainly lived up to his surname
Tony Blair was a bilderberger
Was this after Blair got done for cottaging?
michael foot would be turning is his grave if he saw what blair became(tho he was alive all through blairs leadership)
Evan Bernard I think he knew what Blair was about anyway & Tony Blair won three times, unlike foolish Foot.
foot lost because of the sdp and falklands. blair was just a centrist shite
His comment at the start of this shows only too well that Foot knew exactly what Blair was all about!!

@@tennis5011 Labour was polling top until after the 2008 financial crisis, what you're saying is completely wrong.
